With a new guy on the campaign staff we finally see what The Donald’s critics and enemies have been demanding - the “pivot” to “presidential” speech.
Addressing Policies:
Tonight, I’d like to talk about the New American Future we are going to create together.
Last week, I laid out my plan to bring jobs back to our country.
On Monday, I laid out my plan to defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism.
On Tuesday, in Wisconsin, I talked about how we are going to restore law and order to this country.
Unity:
Every single citizen in our land has a right to live in safety.
To be one united nation, we must protect all of our people. But we must also provide opportunities for all of our people.
We cannot make America Great Again if we leave any community behind.
Nearly Four in ten African-American children are living in poverty.I will not rest until children of every color in this country are fully included in the American Dream.
Jobs, safety, opportunity. Fair and equal representation. This is what I promise to African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and all Americans.
But to achieve this New American Future we must break from the failures of the past. . . .
Legitimate media criticism:
The establishment media doesn’t cover what really matters in this country, or what’s really going on in people’s lives. They will take words of mine out of context and spend a week obsessing over every single syllable, and then pretend to discover some hidden meaning in what I said.
Just imagine for a second if the media spent this energy holding the politicians accountable who got innocent Americans like Kate Steinle killed – she was gunned down by an illegal immigrant who had been deported five times.
Just imagine if the media spent this much time investigating the poverty and joblessness in our inner cities.
Just think about how much different things would be if the media in this country sent their cameras to our border, or to our closing factories, or to our failing schools. Or if the media focused on what dark secrets must be hidden in the 33,000 emails Hillary Clinton deleted.
Instead, every story is told from the perspective of the insiders. It’s the narrative of the people who rigged the system, never the voice of the people it’s been rigged against
Reining in his ego:
So again, it’s not about me. It’s never been about me. It’s about all the people in this country who don’t have a voice.
I am running to be their voice.
I am running to be the voice for every forgotten part of this country that has been waiting and hoping for a better future.
I am glad that I make the powerful a little uncomfortable now and again – including some powerful people in my own party. Because it means I am fighting for real change.
There’s a reason the hedge fund managers, the financial lobbyists, the Wall Street investors, are throwing their money at Hillary Clinton. Because they know she will make sure the system stays rigged in their favor.
It’s the powerful protecting the powerful.
The insiders fighting for the insiders.
I am fighting for you.
But we can never fix our problems by relying on the same politicians who created these problems in the first place. See/Read the whole thing.
So what are his critics/enemies complaining about now? “He just read it off a teleprompter. Anybody can read a speech.”
Donald Trump would like to officially welcome you to the Brietbart Era:
“I like being liked, who doesn’t? But I love being hated.”
Righteous Indignation to follow.

Man that is good stuff. That is how a commander in chief speaks...
I watched it. It was a terrific speech.
The media being the media we all know and loathe
Hurricane KATRINA devastates Louisana. President Bush uses Air Force ONE to fly above the devastation to see for himself the horror. He is awed by what he sees, but a decision is made not to land, because of the commotion and distraction of a PRESIDENT being on site and the security needs.
With the speed of light, the media begins the vicious attacks on a “President who cares so little for the suffering of the people, he merely flies over like a tourist and then goes away.” Hour after hour and day after day, the media Bush in print, on the air, and, who knows, possible smoke signals.
Now, once again, Louisiana is devestated by terrible flooding and today’s PRESIDENT is too occupied with his golf game on Martha’s Vineyard. Oh well, nothing to get excited about, concentrating on what is important, his gold game. The MEDIA, as we’ve come to know and LOATHE it.
Looks like he CAN change. That was an excellent speech.
You can’t be successful in business unless you can listen to constructive input, and turn on a dime.
I think we’ll see the word “surprisingly” a lot over the coming months.
Michael Medved has been arguing since the inauguration that Trump simply can’t change. I tended to agree, but it looks like we may have been wrong.
To be blunt, that speech was so good that I thought, at first, it was someone posting the speech the WISHED Trump would give.
Yes, I really liked it. And not just the points he made, but the way it was worded and organized. It looked like a very good speech by a “real” presidential contender.
He needed to hear it in the right terms.
Manafort was probably telling him to say what he wanted, and f*** ‘em if they don’t like it.
Bannon probably says, pick your battles. Talk with the American people like you would potential investors, not just as an audience.
To be a good business man you have to use what works, personally i saw nothing wrong with the way he talked to begin with but maybe the correct talking idiots will not have so much to bash him with and that will give those on the fence a chance to listen to what he says correct or not.
